I have no trade - of late years, until 2 years past I have worked in a pot-ash - since then by reason of a Break, which I have had for many years, I have been able to do but little or no work. And now am absolutely incapable of labour of any kind. My wife is the only person living in my family - She is seventy two years of age, and by reason of her age and infirmities incident thereto, can do but little towards her own support; so that were I not to receive assistance from my country or private charity, which I have no reason to expect, as my connections, if living live in Europe, I must soon suffer if not supported by the Town.
